Central Government employees and those employed in various Central ministries, who had until now enjoyed a 5-day week have been advised to henceforth work 6 days a week. The system is expected to be shortly implemented to other departments too.
In the 1980s, when Indira Gandhi was the Prime Minister, central government offices worked on Saturdays too. It was Rajiv Gandhi, who had, on May 21, 1989, implemented the 5-day week system for central government employees. The system, which was in force for 25 years, is now being quietly changed. Since there could be a backlash from the employees, the scheme will most likely be implemented every alternative week in the initial stages. Talks are now on.
If the 6-day week plan is not implemented, then orders could be issued for the continuation of the current 5-day week with increased work hours for the employees of various central government ministries and offices.
when there is huge discrimination in the working hours of even central government employees [some work 5 days a week and some work 6 days a week] it is the best to make all offices to work six days week.
ReplyDeleteActually there is huge discrimination on the working hours of the central government employees as some work 6 days a week and some work 5 days a week. It is really the best if i every employee is made to work 6 days a week 8 hrs a day. so that the frustration in the employees will be removed and we can expect more productivity . There should not be discrimination.
ReplyDeleteIn 7th Paycommission, staff side NCA particularly claimed more pay for operative staffs by mentioning 6 days a week work. If so then we cannot claim more pay. Anyhow Lets hope for the best Shri.Raghu Prasad ji
